Miami at home versus the Lakers tomorrow. I believe that the Heat play with relentless intensity and beat L.A. by about 14. This win cracks L.A.'s confidence and begins a prolonged slump going into the playoffs and is just a temporary victory for the hapless.

I will go all out and say the Heat will win and win impressively. Playing the Lakers always seem to bring out the best in LeBron and Wade, especially LeBron as he outduels Kobe everytime they play against each other.

The Laker front line has no competition against the Heat, and will win easily.Artest will play a solid defensive game against Lebron. The Heat have no Center and Gasol is too strong for the light Bosh.

Which team has won five in a row, and which team has lost five in a row?

I would like the Heat to win. But expect the Lakers to win. Watching part of the heat-portland game last night this team has some real problems. It is very hard to see them coming out of such a deep slump against he Lakers who want revenge for Christmas day.

If the players are allowed to play the Lakers win. The ref's will probably call some phantom fouls on both Gasol and Bynum and influence the game. If the Heat win it will be because of the ref's.Posted by calvinator

I completely disagree with this...you must be blind when it comes to the phantom calls the lakers get...i sometimes am amazed by the calls that they get...no team in the league gets the BS calls that that team gets...
